BABY LILY BULBS 
Lily bulbs as usually offered, are too large, too old, and 
as a result, suffer too much from the shock of transplanting. 
In our own practice we prefer to use only young bulbs 
of but a single season growth, bulbs that will take hold 
in the new position as though that had always been their 
home. Such are the bulbs offered here, sound little one- 
season stock, mostly from seeds sown early this spring or 
last fall. They are offered in run-of-the-bed grade, and 
will range from the size of a very large pea up to that of 
an English walnut, varying thus naturally from species to 
species. One is pretty sure to get at least a few blooms 
right the first year after putting out the bulbs, but not all 
will bloom so soon. By the second year, though, there should 
be a surprisingly large amount of blossoms. Incidentally, 
the cost of one-season (baby) bulbs is very much less than 
that of older stock, but that’s just bonus for you. We 
offer them, not as bargains, but because we firmly believe 
that these young Lilium bulbs will give far better eventual 
garden results than would old ones, bought full size. Not 
less than ten of a kind will be sold. No exceptions can 
be made to this rule. 
LILIUM AMABILE—The Friendly Lily, and it is well- 
named, a pleasant, long-enduring friend. Grenadine, marked 
chocolate. 10 for 50c. 
LILIUM CALLOSUM—We like this one, though the flow¬ 
ers are not large, because of the odd shade of tawny cin¬ 
nabar, with tones of apricot. 10 for 40c ; 25 for 85c. 
LILIUM CONCOLOR—Upfacing wide stars of most vivid 
vermilion, very many blooms. Extra good. 10 for 35c; 25 
for 70c; 100 for $2.25. 
LILIUM DAVURICUM—The showy candlestick Lily. Wide 
color range. Mixture only. 10 for 50c. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM—Long trumpets of snowy white¬ 
ness, sometimes pure, more often with delightful rose suf¬ 
fusion in reverse. A very lovely Lily. Follows Regale in 
season. 10 for 40c; 25 for 85c; 100 for $3.25. 
LILIUM GOLDEN GLEAM—It is, practically at least, a 
Tenuifolium of rich honey-orange, with waxen sheen. 10 for 
40c. 
LILIUM LONGIFLORUM—The pure white Easter Lily. 
Long fragrant trumpets. Garden-hardy if mulched. 10 for 
60c. 
LILIUM MAXIMOWICZI—-A superb species, like a refined 
and improved Tiger Lily of better color tone. 10 for 40c; 
25 for 85c. 
LILIUM REGALE—Perfumed flaring trumpets, glossy white, 
with tintings of lemon and rose. 10 for 30c ; 25 for 60c. 
LILIUM SHELBURNE HYBRID—Regale crossed with Sar- 
gentiae. In effect it is Regale, but flowers after Regale has 
faded. One should have both. 10 for 50c. 
LILIUM SUPERBUM—No Lily is more aptly named. It is 
truly superb. Stately plants hung with recurved blossoms 
in suffusions and overlays of yellow, orange, scarlet and 
maroon. 10 for 35c; 25 for 70c. 
LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM—The georgeous Coral Lily, blos¬

lacquer. A sure-blooming species. 10 for 30c; 25 for 60c; 
100 for $2.00; 250 for $4.00. 
LILIUM WILMOTTIAE—Blossoms of soft apricot, tinged 
orange, and dotted ruddy brown. A beautiful Lily. 10 for 
40c; 25 for 85c ; 100 for $3.25. 
SPECIAL BLEND OF BABY LILIES 
For those who do not care particularly about having their 
Lilies under name, we offer this blend. The bulbs are little 
one-season sizes, just as explained above. We guarantee 
that there will be not less than seven distinct and beauti¬ 
ful Lilium species in the blend, often there will be more. 
Among them are likely to be those above, together with 
others that we have in lesser quantities, such as Creelman, 
Henryi, Sulphurgale, Umbellatum. Speciosum and the like. 
This Baby Lily Special is put up in lots of 40 bulbs, each 
lot selling for One Dollar. Not less than 40 will be sold, 
and no reduction in price is made for larger sales, but as 
long as the bulbs last, there is no limit on the number of 
“40’s” that one customer may buy. Please note that we 
choose the kinds, we do not keep records of them, and we 
cannot tell, either before or after filling an order, just 
which kinds may be in that particular mixture. The lots 
are put up in quantity, and special instructions cannot be 
followed, but you will get wonderful value. SPECIAL 
BABY LILY OFFER (postage extra, of course, as on all 
bulbs), 40 bulbs for ONE DOLLAR.
